My Conclusion

From my experience i can say that – an old driver can make you crazy! Few days back, I was trying to install bluestacks on my computer. But whenever I attempt to install that software, I see an error message called “We can’t recognize graphic card driver, you may need to update your Graphic Driver”. That time as a quick solution i choose to install some other Android emulator as an alternative to bluestacks.

But, today i updated my graphic card driver, and now it’s running smoothly without any problem. I think you will find this guide useful, comment below if you face any problem.
